Why are Pediatric Web's Medical Articles Peer-Reviewed?

A:

Parents are now using general search engines to locate information about their child's health. Unfortunately, some of this information is misleading, unverifiable, or simply inaccurate. Pediatric Websm has identified leading authorities and their colleagues for many common pediatric conditions. These individuals write about the condition and update the data when necessary.
